located in washington, d.c. tudor place was the home of , thomas peter and his wife martha parke custis peter, the granddaughter of martha washington. six generations of the peter family lived in the house from 1805 until 1984. we take into her with curator grant quertermous who shows us a letter from george washington, a bomb shelter, and a signed photo of woodrow wilson. grant: i am the curator at tudor house and historic garden and we will take a look at some of the amazing things we have in our collection. tudor place was home to the peter family from 1805 until 1983, five different generations of the peter family lived here. it was the wishes of the last owner that the house become a museum so that the public could enjoy and experience this amazing collection of objects. first, i want to talk about the architecture. when thomas and martha peter purchased the house in 1805, it was eight and a half acres and only the two end wings were here with nothing in between. the owner originally planned to build a larg

washington fell back through new jersey. he was hoping to defend new jersey, but because of the defeats, morale was sinking fast. he was counting on the new jersey militia as well as pennsylvania militia to come forward and strengthen his army. they were not turning out in any significant numbers. he had to continue retreating through new jersey. halfway across the state, he orders the gathering of the boats along the delaware river. he sends men forward to the river to start confiscating all the boats. for 70 miles north of philadelphia, everything that floats is being gathered by the army so the british will not have any boats left across the river. washington, when he arrives in trenton, the army will begin crossing the delaware river, that is the retreat crossing, as i like to phrase it. very important to save the army from the british pursuit. that is december 7 into december 8, when the army crosses. the last boats are crossing, they arrive in trenton. that protects the american capital of philadelphia and gives washin

washington has it read to the soldiers. the situation is dire due to the defeats washington has suffered. his recruitment is almost nonexistent. they need a victory. they need something positive going. washington is well aware, desperate for it. the victory at trenton, when they get it, will be a huge morale boost, confidence builder. the result will be recruitment. this is the site where general washington on christmas night, and the continental army, landed. boats would have been landed up and down the bank for some distance. the army crossed during the night. washington's army had about 4400 men, 18 cannons, 100 horses. washington was hoping to have everyone across by midnight. it wasn't until about 4:00 the next morning on december 26, the army was across and ready to march to trenton. prelude to our story is the new york campaign in the summer and fall of 1776. the british landed an army on staten island shortly after the declaration of independence. there were a series of defeats for general washington, beginning with

he will be in aid for washington later in the. you also have a young james monroe who would become our fifth president of the united states. you have quite a few of the founding fathers in the army at this point. they had to wait for the artillery and it's about or :00 in the morning on december 26. the army has about a nine mile march ahead of them i think it was john greenwood who wrote about the march and said basically we marched no faster than a 10-year-old could walk and stopping frequently. with numerous halts and starts. it took about four hours to go nine miles. the army divided into two columns. accompanied nathanael greene column that would come from the northeastern end of town. within minutes of each other, they encountered the hessians guard post and force them into town. this event is the pivotal moment of the revolution, the crossing of the delaware followed by the victory at trenton. many, including washington, they thought the war was practically over and they were about ready to wrap this up and we needed a vict

and i think washington believed that and that washington's strategy here is to deprive the enemy of a fair field of battle. we are now in millville park in the city of trenton, where about half a mile, five blocks away from the battle monuments which is at the top of the battlefield, this is the base of the battlefield. not broad street is here, warren street, king street you can see the traffic light over there. it's a quite a distance. about 200 yards apart, this is the face of the triangle. this is where washington's other force would come in to capture the bridge that crosses the creek. it forms the base of the bottom of the city, this is the one bridge the continue south and beyond that to burlington and philadelphia. a very important bridge. washington's troops would capture that bridge to cut off the germans retreat. one thing at the battle mom insight -- monument in sight, he has the germans in a box. the whole battle transpires in about 45 minutes, and he would take 1000 prisoners, as well as inflict about 150 kills and wounded on the german force. some germans would get acro

washington spent more time in new jersey than any other state during the revolution and the people of "crossroads of the revolution" themselves, the craftsmen who lived here, the merchants who lived here, just everybody in trenton wound up playing a role in the war to support washington's army, to support the cause in various ways. washington wanted to avoid at all cost the kind of military action that would threaten the existence of this irony. he would fight, but he never wanted to be captured by cornwallis was the yorktown or saratoga. he wanted to avoid that disaster. that would've ended the resolution. he always wanted to live to fight another day in his battles. the important thing to him is to keep it going and keep the army in the field. i believe new jersey and general and trenton in particular was very instrumental in helping him accomplish that goal. served hot mental learning at the hospital during the revolution. it is where washington made one of his major sort of innovations at that time by inoculating all of his troops against smallpox and saved his army which might've

this is the portrait of washington. i mentioned earlier that i thought that my own personal opinion -- washington does there are a lot of resemblance to the head of monroe. if you cover up with your fingers both of those sides you can look at it and see it a little bit. i wondered why they so prominently showed monroe's years all the time. in every picture you see monroe's years all the time. you see a portrait of him as a young man and he is wearing the style of. almost is not look like him. my theory is they always did this to distinguish, especially gilbert stuart, to distinguish between them. here you can see the usual treatment where they had his ears expose. he might have had unusually protuberant years. they are always prominently displayed. if you cover up that year -- ear it could be washington. that was a little aside. there it could a little bit resembled george washington. another view of the head. this portrait is a well-known portrait. it is based on a full-size portrait. i never really liked this in a way

the bbc‘s rajini vaidhyanathan in washington has more.re are other things there that the washington post have said that there was a leak from the president. two other channels, they said that precautionary measures were taken by the nsc and cia, in the wake of the meeting. so they are also that that is another sign that this did happen. though, of course, it is notjust hr mcmaster, the national security adviser, who has said no, it did not happen. the white house has also issued a statement from the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, who says that they did not discuss sources, methods, or operations. and the deputy national security adviser also issued a statement saying the story is false. that has not stopped reaction pouring in in washington from both sides of the political aisle, and we have heard from bob corker, who chairs the foreign relations committee, some strong language from him this evening. he said the white house has to do something soon to bring itself under control and order. and he said the white house was going in a

. >> tonight, the explosive story broken by "the washington post." president trump and last week's oval office meeting with the russians allegedly revealed highly classified information to the russians. among our guests, a former watergate prosecutor, a former u.s. ambassador to russia, and a former kgb spy, along with the journalists working on this still-developing story, as "the 11th hour" gets under way. >>> well, good evening once again from our headquarters here in new york. put it this way, "the washington post" story that came out late today broke their previous record for internet traffic, set on the day the "access hollywood" outtakes were published. today's explosive stories says president trump revealed highly classified information to the russian foreign minister, and the russian ambassador during an oval office meeting last week. u.s. officials tell "the post" the information jeopardized a critical source of intelligence in the fight against isis and that the intelligence was not ours to share. the report says "the information the presi

let me go back to ruth marcus here with "the washington post" down in washington. ruth, in terms of why jared kushner would have wanted a secret communications channel, why the idea of having communications with the russians would be something he wouldn't want anybody knowing about, again, you could say the sinister motive. hey, there was collusion going on here. there was some sort of communication, illicit communication that he didn't want getting out there. you could say that's an interpretation. i guess you could also look at it, though, and say, hey, russia, in december -- on december 1st and december 2nd, the idea of talking to russia, that was a very risque thing politically just given the news, given the climate. maybe he just didn't want that being out there for that reason. >> well, maybe, and as a general matter, i'm actually a really big believer in the pervasiveness of stupidity. so the bumbling naivete explanation is often pretty persuasive to me. but in this situation, i think we have to layer in some other things that we know. we know that michael f

see -- washington dc. there's actually militia that maryland and virginia militia that are brought to washington to help protect the capital. but you also have yard workers, sailors, and marines who are basically drafted into the effort to help defend washington. by the way, latrobe gate, just out of the gate and of the street, guess what's up there? the barracks. what barracks? the marine barracks. the whole reason why the marines are there is because of the washington navy yard. this gate is the oldest u.s. ned marine guard post in the world. that's the reason why the marines are at the barracks because of that guard post right there. we will get back to that in just a second. back to the war of 1812, the british are making their way onto the city. the militia is sent out first to a place called bladensburg. it's at bladensburg that the militia are routed by the british, they are sent packing, and the sailors and marines are sent over the navy yard ridge, today's 11 street ridge. they are sent from the h

it is stacking up and waiting for him when he returns to washington. he is having meetings as you said this morning. he is going through the motions here. one thing about the russia investigation, his reluctance to talk about the country at all has given some concern and worry among european leaders, looking for the u.s. president, new u.s. president to speak out against the invasion into ukraine, crimea, the aggression of the russian president. the silence of russia, which is a strategy for the white house is playing out to a different degree. the lawyer for jared kushner issued a statement about the story you talked about. let's look at that statement. it says this. it says mr. kushner participated in thousands of calls in this time period. he has no recollection of the calls as described. we have asked for the dates of such alleged calls so we may look into it and respond but haven't yet received such information. they're not denying he made phone calls, saying they don't have the information. they stress he is not a target of the investigation. the
